Disclaimer: Let me just check...nope still don't Pokémon!
Since you guy's said you wanted to know what happened next I decided to give ya the next chapter! =D
Ash Ketchum: I Found My Destiny.
Chapter 2 - Caved In & Memories.
Ash's Pov:
I lead the girl and her Dragonite to the cave me and Charizard passed not so long ago. I let them both go inside first. She run's in with her Dragonite hot in pursuit. I look outside up to the black clouds.
"Once a Rocket always a-"
"I'm not a Rocket!"
I had to make sure. I sensed her Aura which seemed incredibly easier than normal. It seemed really similar. I could tell that she had gone through some sort of pain and just wanted some comfort. Badly. It was then I picked her up and when I saw she was afraid of lightning I held her...I didn't know what else to do...
I turn back to the Cave and smile. Dragonite has lied down and the girl is in between a paw and its tail. She's using one of Dragonite's wings as a blanket and drifting to sleep.
And what was with me holding her like that when she was crying and cold? I mean sure I know I've been kind to complete stranger's in the past but this time it felt different...like we weren't stranger's...
"PikaPi?" (Ash?)
I look down at my PikaPal. "Yeah ok, it's time to rest, everything will be clearer in the morning..."
I sit next to the entrance of the Cave and lie on a sharp rock, albeit was far more comfier where the girl was but I decided to give her some room...
...That and the Dragonite which is giving me evil heated glares doesn't help...
Pikachu tuck's himself into my jacket to seek some sort of comfort and with Dragonite on guard duty I slowly drift to sleep with the help of the rain patting down onto the forest floor.
Misty would have loved this rain...
Child's Pov.
"Hey Kid do you know something called Aura?"
Aura...I've heard the Grunt's talking about Agent J and her mission to capturing Riolu including Aura...of course she failed loads of time's thanks to Ash.
Ash...
I look over to the frozen figure at the entrance of the cave.
Ash...
I look at my Dragonite, his really my only companion...I mean, I know I said I'm not allowed Pokémon but Dragonite visits me now and then when his in the Kanto region...
How long ago was that?...
A sneeze.
I look over to where the sound came from; I can see Ash shivering from here and instantly feel guilty. I look back to Dragonite and slowly make my way to Ash without waking either of them up.
I smile. Pikachu is in Ash's jacket like a mother and her child. His sleeping soundly, unlike his owner. Ash's face is pale and his lips are almost blue. I go back to Dragonite and grab my backpack; inside I find the blanket Domino gave me. With the blanket in hand I go up to Ash again. I sit down next to him and put my head in Ash's neck. He stop's shivering and put's his head on top of mine. He clings to his newfound warmth. I can feel his arms securely around my waist so I drift off to a soundless sleep with the blanket on top of us.
Ash...
The Next Morning:
Ash's Pov.
The sun ray's hit my eyelashes which cause them to open. There's a heavy weight on my neck. I look to my left and see the girl. Huh, I was wondering why it had gotten so warmer in the night.
"Pikachu?" I whispered trying not to wake the girl up.
"Pikapi?" (S'up Ash?) Pikachu appeared from outside with a berry in his mouth.
"Ya hungry aren't you?"
"Pika!" He exclaimed, though quietly too not too wake the girl up.
"Ok let me just give her back to Dragonite."
I look back at the girl but now her face is scrunched up and I can see tear's starting to fall from her face.
No-One's Pov:
+Flashback Set 10 Years Ago (Also Her Dream.).+
"Hey Kiddo look at this thing." A 6 year old girl said with bright canary yellow hair in two pig tail's that came down in curls.
"What is it Domekio?" A 4 year old girl said. She had short black hair and wore a blue hoodie with a red cap and blue jeans. (Like Ash's Hoenn Outfit.)
"Boss said it's a thing called a Reality Chamber."
The black-haired girl gazed in astonishment.
A clang of metal.
"C'mon let's get outta here!" Domino grab's the smaller child's hand and leads her to underneath an untidy desk where she held her hand over the mouth of the younger, squirming child.
"So have we had any improvements?" Said a young man in an orange suit. A Persian is following closely. He asked the question to a younger man with brown hair, glasses and a white jacket.
"Yes, our last experiment went well...until"
Giovanni sighed in anger. "You failed."
"Yes but we have figured out how to make the project work...we just need a test subject."
Giovanni smirked at the Professor. "What kind of test subject?"
"We need something living and breathing, with active brainwaves."
"Could you not experiment with a pathetic Pokémon?"
"No, since we are already using Mew's D.N.A we need the subject to be human."
Persian who had not been paying attention to this conversation had been sniffing around the Lab until he stopped at a familiar desk. "Miaow?" (A/N: I think Persian's say miaow instead of their name, someone correct me if I'm wrong!)
Domino who had been trying to hold onto the unnamed child had jumped from her lap and started to pat Persian on the head. However being so little her tiny palm's grabbed onto Persian's fur too tightly which caused a chain-reaction of Persian yowling out in pain and the two girl's to fall out from their hiding place and roll on top of Persian.
Giovanni's Pov:
"A human?"
"MIAOWWW!"
Domino and my daughter had banged their head's on the desk and now piled on top of my newly evolved Persian. I pinch my nose and sigh. "You two I thought I told you this area is out of bounds.
"Sorry Boss." Domino say's dusting herself off and bowing to me. "It was my fault."
"And you-" I look at my daughter. "You're not meant too touch Persian like that." I awaited her reaction but there was none; she was too busy looking at where Persian clawed her wrist. Tears started too form in the young girl's eyes. Huh, I guess this is her first time seeing blood or something. Well her Mother did used to baby those two too much.
"Owie..." She say's to no-one in particular. I sighed and made my way too pick her up from the floor. "What's wrong?" I say cradling her near my waist.
"What's this?" She show's me her wrist.
"Umm..."
"That's a boo-boo!" Say's Domino brightly. I look at her then at my child. My dark brown eye's meet her deep black ones. Her lower lip quivers.
"Does it hurt?"
She nods.
"Well tough, you have to toughen up! It's just a scratch you'll be fine."
Her face is one of rejection and she sigh's whilst climbing down from me.
I turn back to the Professor. "Well?"
"Oh yes, your question! Well yes it must be a human. One that's roughly about..."
He started rambling on about facts that I did not need. Power is what I need! I see my little girl trying to catch Persian's tail and failing miserably. She looks so peaceful.
"Someone who matches Mew's personality,-"
I snap out of my daydream.
"Wait what?"
"We need a human, but someone with a personality such as Mew may help our research go further."
I look back at her. Domino is standing quietly next to my daughter whose crouched down and is rubbing Persian's stomach.
Mew eh?
I look back into the Professor's eyes.
"Use the Child."
He shakes his head.
"I'm afraid Domino's personality is too strict.-"
"Not her."
He stop's talking and looks confused. When he realise what I meant his eyes dilate in horror. I smile. "She can be like Mew."
"But Sir, we hardly know her, plus she's so young she may suffer side-effect's!"
"You may not know her but I do. I brought her here, what happens to her is not my problem, now do as your told and use her in the experiment!"
"Sir! No!" He said his voice cracking.
"That's an order." I say with my dark tone.
"Y-yes Sir."
I smile evilly and walk towards the girl. She looks up to me as I bend down. "Come Child."
"Where me go?"
"Just come."
I drag her to inside the chamber and put her wrists into chains. She looks at me. I tell her to close her eyes.
"What now?" I say when I reach the Professor back outside.
"We zap the subject until he/she goes into a minor coma; just enough so you have the brainwave's needed." He say's reading from his notes.
I look back and click my fingers. Two Rocket Grunt's appear from the shadows.
"Take her away." They nod and grab Domino and lift her by the shoulders.
"What? No! Boss wait! No! What's happening? NOOOOO!"
The door shuts. I look to the Professor, his reluctantly following my orders. He pushes down a lever with a red circular handle and that send's electric shock's to the girl. Her eye's bolt open and she start's too scream.
"WHY! WHY I'VE BEEN GOOD! PLEASE DON'T DO THIS! I DIDN'T MEAN TO DO ANYTHING WRONG! PLEASE DON'T DO THIS."
+Flashback In Giovanni's Pov: +
"PLEASE DON'T DO THIS GIOVANNI! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS? THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG! DON'T DO THIS PLEASE!"
Delia...
Back At The Lab.
Still Giovanni's Pov:
"Crank it up higher."
The Professors' eyes dilate. "But Sir! That could kill her! Were only meant to put her in a coma."
"DO IT OR I WILL!"
He shiver's in fear but does as his told. With his hand on the lever he says one final thing before pushing the leaver.
"Sir this could very likely kill her."
I look back in the Chamber. She has tear's falling from her face and she has droplets of blood forming from the corners of her mouth.
"She deserves it. She's too weak."
He nod's reluctantly and look's away before pushing the lever. He screw's his eyes shut and the noise of the electric is drowned out with her cry's.
+Present Time.+
Child's Pov.
"Hey Kid! Kid please wake-up! Please!"
I feel myself being shaken and so open my eyes. I'm surprised to find my vision blurry. At first I don't recognise where I was so I look around and remember what happened yesterday.
"You're up! Good, I was worried, you were crying."
My eyes go bigger and I gasp. I sit up and move away from Ash's arms.
"C-c-crying?"
"Yeah, I think you were having a nightmare."
"No..."
"Hey Kid are you okay?"
I feel his hand on my shoulder and I quickly slap it away. "Just don't!"
Ash's eyes prove his shocked but he still won't stop. "Are you okay? You were crying and-"
"NO!" I crouch down by the rock and cover my ears. "No! Crying's not allowed! I'm not weak! I'M NOT! IT WASN'T MY FAULT! I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG!"
Ash footstep's come closer towards me. I feel him pause and then crouch down behind me. He puts his hand on top of my shoulder and once again I harshly brush it away. "LEAVE ME ALONE!"
He then sighs. I wish he would just leave me alone now! Isn't he meant to be the most dangerous person in the world? Why else would the whole Rocket Empire be looking for him! He puts his hands around my waist and pull's me into a hug. I gasp. I look back up at him and he has his eyes closed. I try to get out of his grasp but his grip tightens. I start screaming. "NO! LEAVE ME ALONE!
"Shhh..."
He start's humming a song I don't recognise and I slowly calm down. I feel a piece of cloth around my eyes. I open them.
Ash's Pov:
"No! Crying's not allowed! I'm not weak! I'M NOT! IT WASN'T MY FAULT! I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG!" What does she mean by that? I walk closer to her and realise she's crying but she hasn't realised it yet. I bend down and put my hand on her shoulder, she pushes it away again and she shouts. On some sort of instinct I pull her into me and hold her. She claw's at me feebly.
"Shhh..." She's still crying so I take Misty's handkerchief from my jacket pocket and dry her eye's. I hum whilst I do this. (A/N: Together Forever – Pokémon.) She looks at me.
"What?" I say.
"H-how can you do that?" Her voice breaks and I can tell she hasn't cried this much in a long time.
"Do what?" I ask quietly.
"No I...I mean… why."
"Why?" I look into her eye's trying to find the answer in there. It seems she's too exhausted and she collapses onto my chest.
Before she does though she says one last thing.
"I'm not weak..." She start's snoring lightly.
I smile. She's finally in a peaceful sleep. I put her cap on which had fallen off before and pick her up so she's resting on my back. That's when I realise she's around my height. I wonder how old she is?
"DRAGONITE! DRA! DRA!"
I jump in fear and the girl whimpers in her sleep. She quickly calm's down once more. Looks like she'll calm down by the sound of a heartbeat….
"Ahh! Dragonite don't scare me like that!" I sigh. "Don't worry she's okay, she just had a nightmare." I continued.
And that's how the next few days passed. We'd find some shelter, usually a cave since it was drier than the forest floor, the girl would fall asleep in my arms, sometimes due to the rain, exhaustion or mainly she would cry to sleep.
But then one night it was different...
I had woken up along with Pikachu and was currently waiting for the girl to wake up so I could use my arms again. Dragonite had been following us all this time but today he must have sensed something in the air.
"Dragonite." It nod's and walk's to the mouth of the cave. Me and Pikachu follow it. The girl on my back. Dragonite then lift's its powerful wing's and set's off to its next destination to who knows where.
In doing so though, the powerful air that Dragonite released from its wing's sent my cap flying off my head.
"Aww man, Pikachu could you please?"
"Pikachu!"
Pikachu finds my hat on the ground somewhere and climb's to my shoulder to put it back on my head.
"Hehe, thanks buddy, now let's go!"
With her on my back sleeping soundly and Pikachu trotting close by I set off to the forest.
But no longer than 3 steps out of the cave do I hear word's that make my heart clench.
"Look there she is!"
"Ha! Our lucky day! It's the Ketchum Kid!"
Rocket Grunt's! Oh-No!
The girl wakes up from the men's shouts and her eyes are wide open.
"T-T-Team Rocket!"
"Hehe, there you are you fucking brat! Giovanni's furious at what's gone on!"
I step in front of her.
"You're not laying a hand on her!"
I hear her gasp behind me. "No Ash! Don't do it!"
I ignore her. "What's Giovanni got to do with this? Eh!" I shout to the men in black.
"ENOUGH TALK! Get 'em!"
"Which one?"
"Just fucking get them both! There both on the fucking wanted list!"
I look at the main two Grunt's fighting. Now's my chance.
"Pikachu use-"
"Not so fast Brat!" He aim's a Pokéball at me and chuck's it in the air. "Butterfree use sleep powder!"
Dammit!
"Ash!"
I look behind me and grab the girl. We hold each other as the fumes from Butterfree makes us go hazy.
"Ash..."
The last thing I see is Pikachu collapsing. I feel myself and the girl start falling down.
The last thing I hear is from the girl.
"Ashie..."
No way.
